Darkness · Apr 19, 2023

180 / 180

_____How long had it been since Darkness decided to go for a stroll and not make a scene wherever she went? Arms stretched over her head as her normal Taboo magic was pulled back, Her usual black outfit regaining color, her pale white skin gaining a bit of color, and her horns, tail, and other demonic features all vanishing as the Elf beneath it all was revealed once again but with only a hint of the dark magic that had started to eat away at her over the past four years in the form of her white hair that was once black.

_____As fun as it might have been to go back around Looking like the person 'Kaede Hoshi' as she once was the Demoness did not like much of that form and decided to change those parts just enough to LOOK like her host, but not enough that she would be appalled each time she passed a reflective surface. After all there was nothing worse then being reminded of the woman, sure she owed her body to them, but it was not the original plan of the Demoness to take it over more so a matter of survival.

_____When Kaede had first found the scythe Darkness simply wanted a fair exchange, but over time Kaede kept going against that fair deal and so Darkness took more and more, leading to the rift that eventually ended with Kaede getting mostly destroyed and Darkness taking over. Shrugging as she would end her stretch and walk out of the shadows to go roam the town with her mind set on checking in on her little building. It was not much, just a little café she stuck a few of her Puppets at it to keep things running. Humming as she walked around the less crowded streets mostly in her own mind.

"I COULD approach them and attempt to hide it is really me, or I could go and just look in from outside... Maybe just alter someone along the way to be a puppet and go for a visit through them while I sit elsewhere... But most of those would not work... My magic is the issue and most those that managed to be turned into puppets not husk are overly aware due to how I ensured they would always know it is me... It could be a good test to see if the Puppets stay on task If I just showed up without forewarning though..."

_____Her inner thoughts projecting as she walked around rather unaware of her surroundings outside keeping her magic senses on high alert incase someone worth 'interacting' with showed up among the masses of maggots around her. She did not personally look down on them much, anyone could be valuable if used properly but for the most part she just did not like common landers as they all showed hate towards her overly comfortable nature with Taboo magic. Her inner mind clouding with the deep secrets before she smacked either side of her face to snap out of the memory.

Lorelei Varic · Apr 24, 2023

Days, it had only been days at this point that she'd been back. She'd logged back in to find herself standing at the same little tavern she'd been at when she'd been ejected from the game so many years ago. She'd run into her old traveling companion, which had been both surprising and exactly what she would have expected. It was strange to realize she'd missed the loudmouthed hot-head, but it had been nice to see him. However, he'd not popped on the last couple of times she'd logged on, and so she'd set out to explore, curious to see what all changes she would find in the world she had come to rediscover. She had heard that when the 'lockout' as she'd come to think of it had happened, there had been much that had happened in the game with no players to balance it's world, and she was curious as to just what all had occured.

The terrain of the areas she'd found herself traversing through, so far, had been different than she remembered. Things had changed well enough that she could definitely tell it wasn't the exact same game. She'd seen some overgrowth and had passed a few areas that seemed simply abandoned. She'd stayed out of them as well as she could, sticking to more open spaces, for the time being, and was honestly thanking The Alfather that she had managed to remain unseen, or at least unbothered by anything along her route, thus far. She wasn't exactly reacquainted enough with everything to feel comfortable fighting, just yet, especially since it appeared her character itself had changed, some at least, since the last time she'd played.
Her maps were basically useless, so far. The logs she had from before either obsolete or completely blank because she'd not been in quite a few areas before hand, anyway, so she spent her time along her path marking places she might want to return later to explore. The little coin she'd found she had remained stored away as she'd taken a route of 'living off the land' for the time being. Though, that might well have been about to change as she found herself nearing a town that seemed to be quite the opposite of abandoned.

Mossy-green hues glanced around her, taking in the scenery in this new area she had currently found herself in, a town she didn't recall having visited before. Her gaze slid over the people she could see milling about and the buildings settled here and there along the scope of the land before her. Weapons away for the time being, as she wasn't looking for trouble so much as just a chance to re-familiarize herself with the game some, she made her way along what appeared to be the main path through the town. Before long she found herself drawing closer to what appeared to be a small cafe.

"A bit of food not pulled from the ground and a good drink doesn't sound like a bad idea." She muttered to herself as she let her steps lead her to and through the doors of the establishment. Taking a moment to determine if she was able to seat herself, she made her way to a table and settled onto one of the provided seats, her mossy-hues glancing around for any sort of server or menu. The place seemed moderately busy, so she settled against the seat to wait, her thoughts drifting back to the changes she'd noted so far. She figured she would have to do some training and relearn her character, for sure, but for the time being, she mostly just wanted to relax and enjoy the fact that Terrasphere was back online, and if she happened to meet anyone interesting, find some information on all of the changes or find a familiar face along the way, well, that was just a bonus.

Caelynn Thia · Apr 23, 2023

It had been a few days since Caelynn had made her return into the game. Everything looked so different but felt the same. She could barely remember how the game felt and looked like. She always used the game as an escape from the real world. Her life was no happy ending, so she figured she'd start a new life under a different identity. In this game, she could be whoever she wanted be. The vultures of stress and pain could not interfere in this magical fantasy world. Of course she had to get back into the swing of logging in and exploring the game. Things might have changed while other things may have stayed the same. She often thought about her old guild mates all except one of them. His goal in life was to torture and torment her. Hopefully he got bored of gaming and never returned to the virtual world. Although in the back of her mind, she would stay prepared for just in case he did decide to randomly appear.

At least this time there weren't any trees for her to fall out of. Perhaps it was a prank between her and Terrasphere. Always make an entrance wherever she went. The last time she fell out of a tree did somehow break the ice regarding introductions. A bit embarrassing and labeled her as a noob. Thinking back to it all she could do was smile and shake those thoughts away. She continued walking until she came face to face with a building that looked rather nice. Taking her hand, she looked around in her pouch to see if she had any money to spend on something decent to eat and drink. She shrugged and placed it back by her side and began her walk to enter into the building.

Caelynn made her entrance into the little cafe tavern establishment. It seemed to be a little busy with other players looking for some relaxation and nourishment. She looked up at the ceiling taking in the environment. The pinkette turned looking to the left and right following those that were walking around. She was sure to step aside as to not be in anybody's way. She couldn't help but smile a little to herself. This was way better than sitting in front of a screen and typing on a keyboard. Whoever thought of virtual gaming really was a genius that others must of been jealous over. Especially since they didn't think up the idea first. She laughed to herself and looked up at the room at first not noticing anything specific. Her eyes looked around to another empty table in which she casually made her way over to sit at. She sighed softly and crossed her legs. A nice place to rest for a little while before going out to explore this new world and getting reacquainted with everything she'd forgotten about.

She began looking around for something that would list off beverages and food until her eyes looked over and spotted someone familiar. She closed her eyes and quickly went through her memories of the last time she'd been in a virtual reality game. Going over pictures of her old guildmates until she matched up with the person who was sitting across from her a couple or so tables away. Caelynn got up and walked over with a small spring in her step. "Lorelei? Is that really you?" She turned and walked over to the side to get a bettler look at the female. "Lorelei! It is you! Do you remember me?" She secretly held her breath hoping that the other female did remember her and that she didn't look stupid in the middle of the tavern with a potential stranger.

The first log in had proven to be good for some entertainment for sure. An old travel companion had been there, just as if it had been timed that way. It had been utterly perfectly. Though well shit happened and as much as he hated the thought of it-- returning to the real had been a thing. Thus he wasn't able to come back to the game as often as he had wished. The moments he could, well his scheduling was a bit off so to say he kept missing that annoying little poppy. Though like he just waited around and twiddled his thumbs when he logged on those odd hours of the day. He set out exploring in hopes to find trouble where he went. Terra was back, his little realm he would much rather stay in forever rather then go back to the hell that was the real for him. Though he could tell those tales-- he doubted it was actually possible to stay in the game like that. A guy could wish though. Would he ever make said wish known to the realm? Who knew.

Now he made his way through the new yet old place when he could. Staying out of the busy towns that seemed to rustling with people. He could easily stay and live off the land, and technically he did. The beasties didn't bother him, even if some of his stats were a little different than when he had originally been in this world. Oh well, it was time to rebuild and do things again. Simply an annoyance sometimes, but could be fun if the chaos followed. He really needed to stop thinking like this-- but the thing was it was a bit rough for him to think anyway else but such. The little demon that he carried with him, how he was build--- hell it all pointed to really only a few routes for him. Not that he minded. He needed new play toys though. So who would be his unwilling subjects? Would they be new? Old?

Those crimson eyes glanced as he did venture towards the nearby town ahead. Well time to at least reload a little. Food wasn't a problem, with his sharp shiny collection-- it was more than easy to get any form of meat he needed to. He found himself attacked by beasties a lot, but he took it as a challenge and it always ended with meat in his belly. Though perhaps he should head to get food he didn't have to catch and prepare. Spices would be nice too. Yes spices were needed really. So he headed through the town and found himself drawn to this small café like tavern. This place was as good as any, he supposed. Though his ears twitched as he walked in.

Crimson eyes rolling slightly as he waltzed over to that table. He smirked "well well well, and it seemed now there are three once again. Lollie, we meet again. Oh and the loud pinkette too. Did you fall out of a tree recently? After all the game is back~ So naturally ya had to fall on ya ass in front of complete strangers again." He pulled up the chair and sat down, much like he owned the place. Oh what trouble would he attract to himself by acting like his typical cocky self. Hell his whole aura radiated that he wanted to mess with people. Actually he wanted to try out more with that so called taboo magic of his. Puppets would be fun, he did want play things after all. He kept that smirk like smile on his lips. "Did ya miss me?~"

Darkness · Apr 24, 2023

180 / 180

_____'Fallen star café' The sign hung over the door, the depiction of a creator with the words at the center of it. It was by no means a 'large' café but for the region it was i could be close to such a title. Walls made of thick black stone with crimson shingles allowed it to stand out far more then it would ever need. It's interior smelled of mostly food with a hint of magic. It was nothing short of noble designed inside as it would become clear when one noticed some of the many Maid outfitted staff helping other tables.

_____The group of players did however sit at one of the lesser active areas, it would allow them quicker service but the one who oversaw that area today was Eleanore, the less popular staff who only really had new comers or a very 'odd' groups that CHOSE the area for her. The three would be greeted by the stern glare of the maid, a sudden smack as three menus would be forcefully placed on the table's end not going the extra step like the other maids did to give one to each person at the table.

"Welcome, to Fallen star Café... I'm Eleanora, your personal maid for the duration of your stay today."

_____While the other maids either had a shy act, or a cute, or a serious yet loving air this one was cold and cruel as her eyes cut deep. The maid judged each and every person that CHOSE her section like they had no value. Hand would, if none had split the menus yet push them across the table to roughly align with each person in the group. it was pristine, with clear writing 'appetizers' on one 'Meal' on another, and the last 'deserts. It was only the menu for a single person the group would need to share unless they spoke up.

"When I'm ready to deal with you more I'll come back."

_____The maid did not even give them time to speak to her before turning away and going to a different table. Depending on what the group chose to look at first or picked would have to likely wait to place the order as it seemed the maid was going to take her sweet time coming back around to the table as she vanished into the kitchen. Maybe if they got ready to order sooner could try to call over one of the other maids, or maybe wait it out?

_____Eyes lightened as the Demoness overlooked the building, it had been some time since she came back around to see it but the sight was still welcoming as always. Opening the door as the scents took her back to one of the first times she had gotten control over the body and renovated the place and the staff. Humming as some of the staff took note of her right away and all turned to bow in her direction stopping everything else before quickly going back to what they had been doing.

_____Humming as she would walk over to the people she had been loosely following up until now and waving at them. She could just sit near them, but that would only be so much fun and the Demoness was picking up on something from the male of all people that had got her interest. She could smell the magic from each of them, feel it loosely in the air around them if they did not try and hide it from her as she would speak up.

"Pardon me, but Mind if I join you all at this table? Not much fun to come to a café alone, I also don't mind paying for your meals if you are ok with that as my form of thanks?"

Lorelei Varic · Apr 24, 2023

The elfin rogue lounged almost lazily in her seat as she scanned the cafe. It was a quaint place, she'd give it that. Though not too over the top it definitely stuck out in the grand scheme of the area it was built in. Neither too old fashioned or too new age, its black stone décor seemed nearly castle-like. The smells of food lingering in the air were tantalizing, and the bustling movements of the -Maids? Servers? Servants? What would they actually be called?- Well, either way, it was an atmosphere she could certainly see herself returning to, even if she did have a nagging sense that someone was watching her. She couldn't think of a decent reason anyone would be, however, so she pushed the thought aside. The seat she'd found herself was comfortable enough, all in all, she was rather impressed, if she were to be completely honest with her unspoken thoughts. Thoughts that were soon broken by the sound of approaching steps.

Lorelei shifted from her thoughts to person that had approached her table, expecting to see one of the cafe's maid-servers. However, the visage that appeared before her was one much more familiar. Her hues lit up with recognition and a small grin curled her lips, as she shifted in her seat, pushing herself up to stand as the pink-haired elf spoke. Chuckling, softly she nodded to the other female, the lyrical tones of her voice cheerful as she spoke, "Caelynn. It has been a while. How are you?" She asked, before the sound of approaching steps drew her attention, and she turned to face the source of the sound. ~Him too? This is shaping up to be a fruitful day.~ The voice in her head didn't quite match her own, but so far the nagging thing wasn't stirring up trouble. She was glad for that, and she let herself relax a bit more as she watched the silver-haired male approach their location.

Her grin widened into a full on smile as she listened to the male speak. She took in his actions as he pulled out one of the nearby chairs and lowered himself into it in a manner that almost made it seem as if he were placing himself into a throne. So many years knowing him, and it was clear, still, that he would always be the pompous and arrogant person she'd once come to rely on as closely as most did kin. She shook her head, slowly, at the thought, a light laugh leaving her lips as she pulled a seat out for Caelynn and took her own once more. "Yes, Cammy, and I do sincerely mean that. How are you?" She responded to the crimson-eyed male's inquiry. Her use of her old nickname for her was the only indication she gave of having payed a bit of attention to the way he had greeted her or Caelynn.

They were momentarily interrupted by the appearance of one of the cafe's maids. Menu tossed onto the table, the woman spoke as if her job were a burden or she simply didn't have a care to waste time waiting on indecisiveness, and then simply left. Rude as some might have taken the quick exchange, it didn't bother the dark-haired elfin female. As far as she was concerned most people with such 'darker' seeming personalities were more honest than others who held a more positive and 'bouncy' air about them. Lorelei wasn't one for sugar-coating or wasting time, herself, really. Current situation aside, of course, as she was just getting reacquainted with the game and its inner workings, besides time to look over the menu and wait for the server to return would also give their little group time to catch up after all. Pushing the menu to the center of the table, she turned her attention back to the others. "What looks good to you two?" She asked.

Growing silent for a moment, she grazed her eyes over the menu's lists as she awaited the others replies. However, before she was able to settle her mind on her own choices of food, their little party found themselves being interrupted once more. Lorelei stood at the approach of this particular stranger. Plain was definitely not a word she would choose to define the white-haired elfin woman who had approached their table. The tones of the woman's voice as she spoke gave no rhyme or reason for one to suspect she was being anything but nice. There was something that seemed off about her to Lorelei, however. A sense of darkness under the surface that left a slight chill in the assassin's spine. It wasn't something that seemed sinister to her, however, and so the dark-haired elfin rogue simply smiled and nodded to an empty chair opposite herself at the table.

"That's awfully kind of you. I don't see any reason to say no. Company is always nice, and I certainly am not one to turn down a free meal." She said with a chuckle as she took her seat once more. "The name's Lorelei, and these two are Camus and Caelynn." She said, gesturing to the other two elves respectively. "You seem a bit more familiar with this place than we are. What would you recommend?" She asked the newcomer as she pointed towards the menu, her mossy-green hues clear and her smile genuine, showing nothing of the wariness that even now tickled its way down the length of her spine.

@Caelynn Thia

The food descriptions make me hongry. xD ~I LOVE THE SERVER~! Lorelei may be a little untrusting. lol

Caelynn Thia · Apr 25, 2023

"It's been so long since we've last seen each other. Actually I mean since we've both been logged in at the same time that is." Lorelei always brought a smile to her face. In some ways Caelynn got the sense that as long as Lorelei was around, she would be protected and taken cared of in some shape or from. Rather that was enjoying the company of her being there. Suddenly her eyes peered up at Camus who had entered and made the scene. Caelynn instantly straightened up and crossed her arms and pouting. "Why are you always around? And I'm not loud!" In that moment when she defended herself, her voice got a little loud. "Dammit Camus. I wish you would just disappear already and for good!" Allthough he had been right about her track record about falling out of trees. She still believed it was glitch in the game or her internet. "Who knows maybe one day I'll fall out of a tree and crush you into the ground. Wouldn't that be entertaining to see?" She pouted and sighed before watching Lorelei pull out a chair for her to sit in.

The cafe was very cute in the sense that it looked to be run by Maids. Maid cafes were quite the experience. Generally how it worked was a maid would be assigned a table. Usually there would be special things listed on the menu that the Maid could do for entertainment purposes. She wasn't sure if the concept was the same in the game as it was for real life. In fact she'd never actually been to a Maid Cafe either. Over time, if she came across an article of sorts then she'd read up on it. For now she would just enjoy the experience of attending a Maid Cafe in the game. It was bound to be interesting to say the least.

The Maid that came over and threw the menus on to the table already seemed interesting. She didn't seem all that pleasant to be working with. Was serving the guests all that annoying. No job was perfect and each one had its perks and negatives. Caelynn raised an eyebrow as the maid expressed that she'd deal with them in a bit before walking off. "She doesn't seem happy at all today. I hope somebody buys her a drink later or something. By the sounds of her voice, she's going to need one." Then she remembered that Camus was here and also sitting at the table. 'Hell I'll need a drink later on if I have to deal with him all day long.' No. She mustn't let him get to her. She should be the bigger person and be mature and wiser. If he wanted to play games then she wouldn't stoop down to his level. It would only waste her time.

Just then another person walked over and had asked to join them at the table. Caelynn looked up at the girl who seemed awfully beautiful. Caelynn quickly got up to politely bow to her before retaking her seat. She barely even looked over the menu before the newer guest was offering to pay for them. "Thank you for your kindness but wouldn't it be a bit expensive? Of course if you insist then by all means I won't say no." She laughed nervously and looked down at the menu again. Her eyes reading over all the listings to see what jumped out at her. So many of the listings looked good. She didn't know what to decide. Thankfully she had the time to think it over before the Maid returned.

Then she remembered what the new arrival had said about paying for everyone. If that had been true she wondered if she should order enough for what she thought she could eat or really pig out. From what she could tell there weren't any prices listed on the menu for her to look at. Depending on what the new comer spoke of regarding recommendations may change things for her. "Mozzarella Sticks sound really good right about now. Oh the Yilez Omelet sounds really good too!" She was already kicking herself for looking too much at the menu and wanting to order more than she thought she would. For now she was basically ordering something from each session. "Well then I think I've settled on a whole three course dinner then. Might as well right? So Mozzarella Sticks, Yilez Omelet and for dessert I think I'll try the Mixed Berry Cream Cheese Wontons."

Oh so he had been missed. It would always amaze him when Lorelei was honest and open with him about misisng him. Their little group had always had some of the most interesting dynamics, and it didn't seem like it would be changing whatsoever. Now he did realize that someone was close enough, perhaps watching. It was just a feeling like some kindred soul was reaching out towards him. Which was odd as hell with him being well... him. "Now wouldn't that be something if there was someone remotely like ya. Guess ya would have to share the spotlight here." He really wouldn't ever miss the little demon he seemed to not forever have with him. He didn't react to it. No instead he chose to take interest in everything else going on at the table.

"Says the loud mouth who yells that she isn't loud." He smirked as he leaned closer "oh now , Crullie you hurt me so much. I might just cry. Here I thought you loved and cherished my company. As if you could crush me even if you fell from the tallest tree. It might just be like a little bug happened to fly down. Besides' ya are nothing entertaining to see. The tree would sooner squish you over you squishing me." He laughed slightly at the thought. It was cute that Caelynn thought she could ever outwit him much like she would be able to crush him. "Besides, I'll never be the one breaking your fall~" That was when the maid happened to come to their table.

Well the maid was an interesting one , that he had to think to himself. He couldn't help but think , even just for a minute, about the cafe he himself had known before. This place was different than it-- clearly due to one being in the real and this one being Terra itself. The second was the set up in general. This was a mixture of some maid cafe thing and a tavern. The two things coming together in this type of place. The maid could clearly care less about this place or her patrons. Yet some probably liked that shit. To him, he could care less how the maid acted. They would all easily be prey for him to toy with, in some form or fashion. Menus were slammed down in front of them and off the maid went. He snorted "she should be happier to serve. So are you volunteering to go and hold her hands and express cheer and joy~." Fake personas were his thing, all the other maids probably used them-- so why not this one? That would probably explain why it had been so easy to find a table in this section. Not like he had picked it-- the girls had ended up doing so. Thus seemed they had chose this-- more than likely it was Crullie that had done such. She wasn't always bright about things. Lorelei at least seemed to be good at observing.

Crimson eyes observed their new addition to the table. She seemed like she just might be fun to mess with. There was something about her that almost drew him to her. "Seems like an easy enough toy coming to beg to be played with." Now his little demon might one day get him into trouble. Though he didn't always have to act upon what it gave him thoughts wise. Yet this time, playing with her could be fun. She was new blood, so to say. He seemed to be able to play with the other two at any time-- but this new one... something just told him it would be truly fun. Right, Lorelei had asked what had looked good-- prior of course to the little banter between him and Caelynn and of course the newcomer coming up to their little party.

Lorelei was standing, if Camus had been perhaps paying attention to the surroundings around them-- he might have realized that the staff had indeed stopped what they were doing and bowed to her. No, to him only where he was around right now was the focus. The maid had only been a focus because she had come here. A lot did go on in Camus' mind-- he didn't see all but he might claim to from time to time. "Nor am I. Free meal and drink is always welcomed~" he chimed in with a smile. Caelynn two had gotten up to bow-- he of course did not. The most he did was smile at the other , but he stayed seated. He saw no need to do such a thing, politeness or not-- it was too much. It wasn't like they served her-- so why be so formal. He leaned back in his chair, he couldn't help but try to take all of her in. Hadn't he in fact done the same thing to anyone who come into his company?

This one was a bit ... different than the rest of them. She seemed well put together, something about her did seem familiar in every sense. "Smitten already?" He ignored the little demon, it provided no clues at all. It sometimes was helpful, but this time it was senseless noise in his head. "And of course someone is already planning a whole course. Don't tell me you're that hungry? Right, I doubt you still can do anything useful-- so alone the fair little Cruellie must rely on others still." He did finally look at the menus, he would like an actual meal he didn't have to cook himself. Besides this one was on their new addition to their table. He did have to hand it to this place, the menu was fairly decent sounding.

"Hmm if I had to choose three items , such as Cruellie did-- my choices would be as followed. Feta-spinach puff pastry bites, Murontast noodle bowl and sticky toffee pudding." It was actually so odd to see sticking toffee pudding on the menu-- he couldn't help but state how he wanted that. "Though if something is better-- I'm more than happy to take the suggestion." He actually seemed to be more smiles with this woman than with the two of his party. Yet, was that a good thing or was it a calm before the storm that was coming. Crimson eyes now rested back on her. "Though I must ask. What made you want to approach our party of all people?"

_____Darkness could only chuckle as the three did not seem to entirely pick up on the intention. Eleanora was 'rebuilt' to embody the 'hinedere' trope. Cynical and cold hearted, but a soft spot somewhere in the mix if you knew how to get under the armor. It was how every maid that worked in her café was, each rebuilt from who they had been to a dere type and it was her little place of heaven after hours to enjoy or call them to the manor to enjoy.

_____That said though she had been asked what was good choice of meals here, and her reason for approaching them and in-adversely asked if she was really OK with paying for everyone. She could only tip her head some before pointing towards the staff wall that was mostly hidden until a set of doors swung open, her own image sitting 'owner' as she would grin and tap her chin to think over the other two questions. One now much harder to explain without going blunt.

"Well, despite owning the building I've not exactly 'eaten' the food here, more so the late night snacks.~ As for what made me approach, two lovely woman and one that seemed annoyed by the man that was with them? It's never kind to mock a woman mister Camus.~"

_____Darkness would only project a 'small' amount of hostile air towards the man. Though to her a small amount may be vastly different as he would feel his blood possible freeze over as magic much like his own was at play before it returned to normal and Darkness smiled. Covering her mouth as she recalled the fact she was the only one not to introduce herself.

"Oh where are my manners, Everyone else gave out names by myself.~ I'm Kaede, Kaede Hoshi. Though most people here call me goddess.~"

_____Darkness was not lying about either name per say. She was still Kaede in some ways, and when she worked here and when around only the staff they called her Goddess like they should. Humming as she tapped her finger to the table once to have a thread of spirit magic be pulled on lightly by Eleanora to let the maid know the group was mostly ready to order. Humming to see the brief break of shock as Darkness was here as the woman was the only one NOT in the café main room when she arrived.

"Hello little kitten.~ I think they are all ready to order but you seem to have forgotten the drink section of the menu in that little show... As well as the other menu.~ I'll start with the Totchos, Moving to the Lamngox sandwitch, but for desert...~"

_____Darkness would not say the last item, simply holding up her thumb and index fingers on one hand while the other was only her pinky raised. It was a fun little way to keep a element of surprise for the others. Secret menu items she chose to hide so only the maids telling people about them would spark it to be made or brought out if it was already set and waiting. Humming as she waved at the other maids that seemed a little mad she chose a section and not the café heart to allow all of them to approach.

Lorelei Varic · Apr 27, 2023

Lorelei shook her head, heaving a light sigh as she listened to the banter between Camus and Caelynn. As she'd suspected, there were many things that had not changed in the lengthy time they'd not been around each other. This particular dynamic the two seemed incapable of escaping, and it was one of the few points that actually did irk her a little. It wasn't that she didn't necessarily enjoy the comedic aspects of it all, when they were like this, however, it was the fact that their relatively childish rivalry had caused quite a bit of upset at times when they were grouped and traveling together. Neither of them, back then, at least, had been able to see past their own dislike of the other in order to gauge, properly, when they were needed to work together. It had led to her putting Camus in his place a time or two, more so than the pinkette, however.

Shifting her mossy-hued gaze between the two of them, lids narrowed, slightly, as she did, she tapped her fingers against the table. The reverberating sound just loud enough to hopefully catch their attention, before she spoke. "Alright, you two. That's quite enough. Let's try to enjoy our time here and let the other customers do the same?" She didn't reprimand them, necessarily, but her tone did hold a sort of stiffened, almost dark warning to it. "Caelynn, it's always good to see you." She said, responding to the pink-haired elf's words to her, before turning her attention back to Camus as he quipped about the free meal and went back to poking at Caelynn with his words. "Seriously, Cammy. Give the girl a rest. I'm sure our new friend would like to eat her meal in peace as well. Think you can be nice to Caelynn for just a little while?" She said as she tilted her head at him. The tone of her voice had shifted to something closer to kindness, though it still held an undertone that spoke volumes towards just how much she was willing to endure of the immature banter. "Maybe you should deck him, again." The smile that passed her lips was genuine as she pushed the voice in her head aside, surprised to find that it's words hadn't been something pushing her to make the situation worse. She had enough to contend with without losing her control over that little glitch of hers.

Truth of the matter was, the newcomer to their table still had her hackles raised. She seemed friendly enough, but Lorelei just couldn't seem to shake that inkling of something dark and malicious beneath the surface. It wasn't the same as the aura Camus put off towards her. No, he was open with his personality and true to form, with a soft spot beneath that even she had rarely seen. This woman ...Well, Lorelei wasn't convinced that the other woman was as friendly as she was trying to seem. Her thoughts were interrupted, however, as the woman in question began to speak once more, Lorelei's attention shifting to her, as she did. Mossy-green hues shifted to where the woman pointed as she spoke to Camus, before addressing them all again. Something drawing the hairs on her arms to stand for just a moment as she studied her. No indication was given on her features of any reaction outside of her response, however. Her smile stayed in place, elongated, pointed-tipped ears twitching, slightly, as she took in the revelation from the other female.

"Well, I must say thank you, for certain, then, Kaede. I feel honored knowing we've been privileged to such a treat." She replied in response to the woman's revelation of being the owner of the establishment. "As well as apologize for my companions' current attitudes towards each other. They always have had a hard time getting along." She said with a chuckle as she watched the server returning to their table. She grew quiet as she listened to Kaede speak with the Maid, gently admonishing her for her forgetfulness and placing her own order. She pondered a moment over the hand signal given, but said nothing of it, instead glancing back over the menu herself, before turning to look back towards the Maid. "I think I'll have the fetta-spinach stuffed pastry bites an order of mixed berry cream cheese wontons and a water." She told the server, before settling back against her seat, observing the maids in their work as she took in the sight of a few who seemed to be glaring daggers at their boss.

Caelynn Thia · Apr 28, 2023

Camus and Caelynn did more than just bicker. He was the instigator and naturally she retaliated always wanting to have the last word. It was almost as if they were related. Caelynn smiled to herself as soon as she thought such a ridiculous thought. Her older brother was nothing like Camus. He was nice and took care of Caelynn or at least he did when they were younger. She truly wished she could find him and tell him about Terrasphere. She had the feeling that this game would be good for him too. He could have escaped into the fake world and make supportive friends that actually cared about him like she had. Minus Camus that is. Lorelei would probably save her from trouble while Camus would just leave her laying in a ditch somewhere. He was not to be trusted.

Caelynn was in absolute awe when Kaede came over and introduced herself while subtly letting them know she owned the building. Now it felt like they were sitting with a very important person. A smirk appeared on the pinkette's face when she also spoke up about Camus getting on her case followed by Lorelei chiming in. That was two against one. Oh how much did she want to get up and put Camus in his place by laughing in a childish way. She could see herself now getting up out of her chair and going 'Ha Ha Ha you got scolded!' Of course that lead her to laughing a little bit to which she covered her mouth and quickly cleared her throat. "It's nice to meet you Kaede. Even more so since we're sitting with the owner of this establishment. I did not see that one coming. I guess it's true when they say you never know who you'll meet when you're out and about."

Caelynn watched and listened to Kaede give her order before stopping and doing some hand gestures. A curious look crossed over her face. What did those signals mean? Her head then turned to look up at the server for a couple or so seconds before Lorelei began talking. Caelynn rolled her eyes at Camus while the server came over and she watched Lorelei give her order. Following by example, Caelynn listed what she wanted to eat. Then she thought about what to drink. "I'm not sure what to drink to be honest. A water never hurt. I'll have a water please. Thank you."

CamusVaric · Apr 29, 2023

Honestly Lorelei and Caelynn weren't in any true danger with him. Okay... maybe Caelynn was more so. Lorelei could defend herself, and had a time or two. Perhaps it was why he continued to poke at her in the ways he did. To see just how much he could get under her skin before the next punch came. Okay so perhaps it was a bad quirk he ended up having-- or was it at this point a kink? Though with Caelynn, he teased her out of a pure joy almost. If she hadn't had ended up making it so easy-- maybe he wouldn't continue. Though, she made it so easy to tease her. It hadn't gotten anything too terrible though. There was one who he had enjoyed a sense of rivalry with-- he oddly missed that. No one else could hope to compete with said person, not yet at least. It was still young and there was plenty of time for more to be found and perhaps a new rival like person to come about.

He rolled his crimson eyes as the other spoke. So it seemed they had found quite an important person and she wasn't all just talk. Nor was she some desperate person who would throw a coin or so around just to make company. "Yes because I'm sure everyone *eats* some special snacks during the late night. Think of all the action she might come across." A rather odd thing from the little demon in his head. Though words though, so she had chosen to approach them because of him. That is what he was hearing. His mouth opened slightly to speak, but he felt that air. It was such a small amount , but she had to be the one to do such. A warning. A smirk quickly formed on his lips, this warning would only make Camus want to poke the other more. It was just a second, surely no one else noticed a thing. "Or it was just aimed directly at ya. Ain't ya special?"

A hum left him "isn't someone speaking highly of themselves~ Goddess really?~ What goddess are you referring to exactly, hmm? It is like saying I'm a God. As for mocking a woman~ Who said anything about it being true mocking~ Nothing but friendly banter amongst friends~ Is someone perhaps jealous and wants to make this threesome into a foursome?~" He never would have thought that Caelynn for even a minute might be his real life sister. He just couldn't help but enjoy poking her. Just like he couldn't help those words he spoke. The smile like smirk on his lips. He wanted to feel that air again-- to see what made the other, this Kaede, tick.

Would some say Camus was stupid? Yes, probably without missing a beat. Though he couldn't help but be curious and seek out to test things, even if it meant he might be burned in the process. A trait of now wanting to be bored perhaps. Oh he might actually be decked by Lorelei for sure. Who knew how Kaede would react to his comment or what would seem like advanced towards her. His words could mean a lot of different things. His crimson eyes watched as the maid came back over and was scolded. He licked his lips and watched. A gestured, oh what type of secret coding was this. She was the owner--- who knew what the maid had just been told. He went about ordering his own food "might as well throw in a water to drink for me. Some ICE - cold- water" he purred out the words. Oh yes, it seemed he wasn't behaving at all. His eyes had flickered away from the maid and to Kaede as he spoke.

"So do tell us, Kaede~ Or do you prefer for us to call us Goddess as well~ Due to us being honoured to be in your presence. Lollie has no means to speak for me, as I am very capable." He tapped his chin as if to think. "I know! I can call you Icy." He hadn't been imagining that feeling of his blood almost being frozen. This had to be that trait he too shared. If so-- he might have either found a rival or perhaps a teacher. Who knew what might come of this little meal they were all having together.

"They call me goddess for several reasons. Among them the role I tend to play here is rather... bold and commanding.~ But also due to the fact I have been around this world longer then most others... and have the power to back it.~ As for your comment Camus, I do not exactly enjoy the company of MEN... If by chance...~"

_____Darkness would reach a hand out to poke Camus' check after everyone had placed orders. While it seemed like a odd thing what followed after was something much less settling as he would get to feel first hand the extent of Darkness' power even while she was holding herself back. Animacy causing some of his bones to creak and compress, shifting his skeleton around some to be more petite and docile. The main thing likely only he would pick up on though was how He, was now She.

_____Of course Darkness did not go so crazy on the changes that his outfit would taking time to have her Dark magic work to cut and crop some parts to adjust to the new changes, and her Hemomancy working overtime to ensure blood flowed like it should with such a sudden change. Humming to herself some as she pulled her finger back and tapped it to her chin with a devious smile.

"If you asked me again while in that form I'd be more likely to agree without a moment hesitation.~ That is if the others had also been ok with such a thing but would be wiser to play after a meal to burn some of the calories away I would think?~"

______Darkness moved her hand to set down a small charm that had a single word on it 'revert' sliding it over to Camus to give 'her' a way to swap back if they wished since she was not going to make a toy of someone in broad daylight and much less in a place she used as a form of income and needed to keep open. Shifting her weight around in the chair she was in to show she had no plans to stop them from fixing it if anyone else wanted to hit the charm instead.

"I do apologize for my actions in hind sight.~ I tend to act before thinking most times.~"

_____Even if she said the words there was no emotional tie with it, no sincerity could be found as Darkness shifted in her seat again clearly not used to the chairs or like she was unsure how to sit to face a group of people properly when equal distance to all of them. She had been used to a maid or slave as her seats, and often times always at the head of a table. Being 'normal' was far to annoying in her mind as she settled to just sit cross legged.

Lorelei Varic · May 1, 2023

Lorelei shifted her gaze from where it had been following one of the maids wandering through the cafe and back to the table as she heard Kaede speaking once more. Mossy-green hues shadowed, slightly, as her elongated ears twitched, taking in the words she spoke. The actions she took weren't of concern to the elf. She didn't feel any true sense of animosity in the darkness that seemed to pour off of the other female. No, at the moment it seemed she was simply stating fact and handing out a lesson. That feeling was confirmed for the rogue as Kaede reached to touch Camus' cheek.

Hues narrowed, slightly as she watched the changes that began to overtake Camus' form. Curiosity piqued, though her expression changed little to show such. A slightly raised brow and a small smirk the only changes to her own expression as she turned her attention back to Kaede, listening to the other woman speak once more, and watching as she set a small charm on the table. The small smirk on her lips spread to something more of a mischievous grin as she reached to pick the charm up, studying it for just a moment, before slipping it into a small, hidden pocket of her traveling cloak. ~Revert~ The single indication of what the charm was meant for was enough for Lorelei to decide it would be fun to hold onto for a while.

Hues shifting back to Camus, taking in HER form once more, she shook her head, slightly. "I have told you that mouth was going to get you in trouble one day, have I not, Cammy, Dear?" The whole situation, to her, was actually quite humorous, and she saw no harm in letting it go on for a time, especially if it might mean the boisterous male learning a thing or two, or at least gave him distraction enough to allow them to eat in some form of peace She was more than certain Caelynn was going to have a grand time with the current situation. She saw no true reason to end the little spot of entertainment. There was something, however, that had piqued her interest in the words Kaede had spoken just a few moments earlier.

Turning her attention back to the woman who had just completely rearranged her companion, she narrowed her gaze, slightly, her expression both curious and wary as she addressed the other female. "You said you've been around this world longer than most others ...Would you be willing to elaborate?" She asked the other woman, her expression shifting to something more stoic as she awaited a reply, curious as to what that reply might be. She'd heard rumors over time, in game and in the real world, as far as back before the game had disappeared for a time, even. Those rumors had been dark, tales of some trapped in the game, their mortal lives forfeited to the game they had found their demise in. She wasn't certain what of those rumors was actually truth, but perhaps this woman could answer a few of her unspoken questions.

Caelynn Thia · May 2, 2023

Caelynn had been listening to Camus and only rolled her eyes. She would be another to say he needed to be taught a lesson of some kind for his attitude and what came out of his mouth. He's all nice and charming to Lorelei but when it came to her, he was just a complete asshole. Of course he was also coming up with a nickname for her too. What was wrong with using their real names? Why did he feel to call her Crullie or Lorelei Lollie? Now he was calling this newcomer Icy of which he really didn't know. Her eyes rolled and sighed before she focused on 'Goddess' who was now speaking.

She thought Kaede was very pretty and full of mystery. How long exactly had she been in Terrasphere and what did she mean that she had been around longer than most people. Didn't the game just return? It didn't seem all too long that she had gotten a secret code to get herself back into the once banned game. Had the game been going on in secret despite it being offline? So many questions with a thousand answers it seems like ready to be said.

The pinkette sighed and took her hand and moved her long pink hair partially behind her shoulder so it was out of her way for a bit. Then suddenly that's when it suddenly began happening. Right before her eyes, the appearance of the man began to change becoming smaller and more feminine. The suddenly Camus the man had disappeared and now there was Camus the female. She watched as Kaede put a charm in the middle of the table as her eyes looked down. At first she was confused and a bit dumbfounded as to what just happened.

"No way!" Caelynn exclaimed with a smile as she put both hands on the table and stood up out of her chair looking at the new Camus. She looked up wondering if this was a reward for dealing with the maniac and finally him being taught some type of lesson. No it must of been a trick. She rubbed her eyes and continued to smile before laughing a bit more. "This is the best thing I have seen all day." Maybe Caelynn might of been slightly afraid of what Camus could possibly do to her if they fought but right now in his new form fear was very, very far away.

She sat back down laughing softly and cleared her throat trying to bring back her composure. "I apologize for my behavior just now." She couldn't take him seriously at the moment. Then she looked over at Kaede and tilted her head to the side. "Oh I like her. I think she just became my other best friend. Don't worry Lorelei we're still considered besties but I'm now adding one more to that list. If you don't mind Miss Goddess?"

CamusVaric · May 2, 2023

She stated that she was bold and commanding and that was why she was called Goddess. Oh she would be fun to mess with for sure. That was what he was thinking until well the chaos happened. What the hell did she mean by not enjoying the company of men. That was when she would reach out to poke his cheek after everyone had placed their orders. He could feel his bones starting to change-- bending and compressing. He was a slender thing thanks to being an elf, but he would become more petite and docile looking. Though that wasn't the worse of it all-- he wouldn't fully realize such like height and what not changing. No the first he realized was the overall unpleasant feeling as bones and the likes changed around. Though the changes in his biology was something that was very much felt by him... uh her now. It felt weird as all hell to be normal feeling down there to this ... this almost tingling feeling.

Crimson eyes were almost brighter in appearance, a lot more doll like even. She watched as she moved to set a small charm and slide it over. Eyesight was sharp enough where she could read the single word carved on to the charm 'revert'. She couldn't help the uncomfortable feeling as she slightly squirmed in her chair. This was such a weird ass feeling and it would only get worse. Cackling of laughter feeling the inside of her head. "Ya just had to mess with the wrong person, champ. Or should I start calling ya princess. Ya know that is a good look on ya." Never had he--she-- wanted to tear the little demon out of his head and strangle it. Unlike the changes to her new body , the little demon remained the same constant annoyance, not changing. Her chest felt heavier, when it was true the clothing that she was wearing didn't change with her form-- it did somewhat cover up her form. It would after all take some time for that to change. Time that Camus didn't wish to spend in this dreadful form.

No. Fuck no. Crimson eyes saw Lorelei seem to take interest in the damn charm and that mischievous grin. The other didn't even want to speak, afraid of what the new voice might sound like. Then the other decided to pocket the damn charm. The glare that she got in return to those words, it only was made worse with the little demon only seeming to cackle more. "Yes princess has a nice ring to it. Ya know, ya should stay in this form for good." If that wasn't worse-- it got worse. The little pinkette was laughing to. A hiss left her lips. With it all going on , she had half not even fully heard Kaede's words to her. Though the little demon was quick to remind her of it all.

"And look at that princess, ya being hit on to. That has to be a record for ya. See even more reason to keep the changes. Worship this Goddess. I know I will." This made the now woman hiss again. "Gimme it back. Lollie, gimme" she hated the way the voice hit her ears. She was out of her chair and lunging towards Lorelei trying to get the charm. It was the ticket back to being a he again. Oh she was such a petite thing and now that she was standing it was even more noticable. The way clothing hung showed the changes clearly-- the clothing loose fitting , it would have hit her curves and certain features if she hadn't lunged at Lorelei like she did. She was probably the smallest of the group now. Hair hadn't exactly change, due to the long hair that had been kept up in a ponytail prior to the change anyway.

"Gimme it back" she was literally in Lorelei's lap , hands going to grope her shamelessly in public. She wasn't trying to do such in a sexual way, no she just wanted to become a he again. "Gimme gimme gimme. This isn't funny." She hissed at Caelynn, crimson eyes glaring at her-- even still in Lorelei's lap. "Don't get so cocky! I will make your life hell-- even if this is my form for a little bit. A little set back is all." Another roaming hand trying to get her hands on the charm, if she kept trying to grab-- maybe she might get lucky. Though her eyes found Kaede. "Did you really do this to me for fun purposes~" Damn it-- where had that line come from? Could she not even stop the silver tongue she had in this shameful form? Damn it she was just all over the damn place like this.

Those words just had the little demon cackling more. "Ya put ya foot in ya mouth. Asked for some foursome-- and what do you get from it? The most ya can do is have fun in this form." A low hiss left her "shut it--- I didn't ask for this. Stop with the princess." Her voice was such a low mutter, but seeing as she was still in Lorelei's lap -- should she had not been shoved away by now or moved somehow-- it would be loud enough for anyone truly close to her to hear. A trait that would seem like she was talking to herself... but in reality--- she was talking out loud to the little demon. The only reply was cackling of laughter.

Darkness · May 3, 2023

180 / 180

"I most surely can elaborate on the matter Lovely Lorelei, Back when the 'game' had first come out I met my end three times. One being crushed to death in a trap, One fighting some nobles during the whole Astorea vs Falnder or whatever skirmish, and my last death was at the hands if a woman who has since been... 'brought to justice.~' But because those three deaths I have been stuck in the world, even as most got blocked out those stuck have remained dealing with things."

_____Darkness would look down at her hand as she spoke, a finger going up for each death, then the other hand a finger up for the five going on six years as an additional finger was added thanks to magic to allow her to properly show the time she had been 'stuck' in the world as some might see it. Hand waving as the extra finger would vanish and Darkness returned focus to admire Camus' attempts to get the charm back. Oh how they wanted to further mess with them but she was here to be civil.~

"Your appetizers and drinks."

_____Darkness looked over to see Eleanora at her side setting down the first two, That of her request and Caelynn, then moving to the other side of the table to hand the 'fighting?' couple their food and drinks. It was a smart play, had the maid did it differently Darkness would have likely dragged her to sit down on her lap and toy with her as the maid had no other customers as the last group that had picked her section left out the door. Humming as she opted to just have some magic run down the maid's back to make her blush and rush away.

"While I have nothing against being friends with someone as adorable as you Caelynn, I'm one to try for more with people so if your fine with that then no issues here.~ As for the question, 'Princess' You had implied it was desired at first, I just showed you the only way I'd make a threesome a foursome.~"

_____While every other word was a playful hum, the single word 'princess' came out like venom from Darkness' mouth. Her whole aura shifted for that single word as pure hostility before it just as quickly returned to a normal playful taunt. Hand waving in the air with spoon in hand as she began to dig into her pre-meal humming happily though she could not taste it due to how her body was altered with magic. pointing the spoon at Camus if she was still trying to get the charm.

"Good girl's sit proper and don't go touching others in daylight or in public. SIT DOWN!"

_____Darkness raised her tone, but not by much towards the end as she was more keen using magic in them to get the point across. If Camus was still fighting for the charm or if Lorelei made it clear it would not be given back so soon the once male would feel magic pulling them, or trying to pull back to sit in their seat and much like the self given nickname, a prim and proper posture with hands in lap.

"I do hope you all are ok, I simply dislike people getting handsy in my café, we have a second floor for such things.~"

Lorelei listened to Kaede speak with an obvious attention to every word; elongated, pointed ears twitching with the bits of information she was taking in. Camus's suddenly seeming to just pounce into her lap drawing only a momentary glance from her mossy-green hues and a slight smirk from her lips, for the time that the other woman spoke. The gender swapped elf being the least of her mind's concerns, as she doubted they'd be able to find the pocket she'd hidden the charm in anyway. She did not reply to Kaede's words, right away, instead, busying herself with the one on her lap as the other woman finished her answer to Lorelei's inquiry and turned her attention to Caelynn.

Moving her arms to wrap them around the elf on her lap, she hugged the smaller frame, chuckling, softly, as she heard the words muttered from her lips. "You're cute like this, you know?" Her tone wasn't taunting, as she knew the expression she'd seen on the other's face. The words she'd spoken hadn't been for anyone at their table. She was nearly certain of that fact as she tilted her head to whisper to the tiny framed now female "That word is degrading as hell, isn't it?" Leaving it at that, she nuzzled the now female's cheek before releasing her from the hug she held her in.

The silver haired elf wasn't enjoying the current situation, but she couldn't help the little teasing she gave, before watching Kaede place Camus back into her seat. "I'll let you have it as soon as you sincerely apologize to both Caelynn and Kaede." She said, giving the now female a slight smirk, before turning her attention to her food, preparing a bite to take. She wouldn't defend the other elf in this case, even with her adversion to that certain word. She'd brought the current situation on herself, after all.

Chewing the bite down she nodded to Kaede, watching as the server took her leave. "Food's good. Back to other subjects, I suppose that means the rumors are true." She said, her voice low at this point, gaze shadowed as she seemed to ponder over her thoughts. "We could wind up permanently stuck here." She glanced over her companions as she spoke. She had heard them both speak of how they wished the game to be real and the real to be fake at times. Hell, she'd raised said sentiment herself, though she hadn't pondered the true possibility of it. She couldn't help but wonder just what the other two might think of such things, though she was near certain that in the moment Camus wouldn't have the focus needed to discuss it.

The pink haired elf turned to Darkness who was sharing her history with them in terms of how many times she died before getting trapped in the game. The story was enough to turn her face white. The rumor was true so it seemed. If you died a total of three times in the game then your life in the real world was history too. Her mind quickly changed to a slight panic of why she even bothered to play this game if the consequences were so severe. She only told herself that as long as she didn't die everything would be alright. Although she couldn't help but feel bad for Darkness. She could never log out of the game and return to her normal life. She was forever trapped in the game which may or may not be a bad thing for Darkness as she didn't seem phased by it.

The atmosphere turned fun as Camus began freaking out over her new form. Being a female would be a good punishment for him to have. He wasn't scary or annoying as he battled against Lorelei looking for the magic charm to turn her back to a him. "This is most definitely a good look for you....Cammie? Camille? Clarissa?" Perhaps she was going a bit overboard by now trying to change his name to match him feminine look. "Just because you've got turned into a woman certainly shouldn't mean you forgot your etiquette and mannerisms right?" As that was happening, their maid had returned with their drinks and appetizers. This brought a smile to Caelynn's face as she was eager to eat Terrasphere food again.

As she reached for her drink, she heard Darkness tell Camus to sit down and behave himself or rather herself. She sipped her water and tried not to spit it out. Clearing her throat, she turned to Darkness. "You may have turned him into a her but she is very much clueless on the subject." Then she heard Lorelei say that she'd only give him the charm if she apologized to her and Darkness. Caelynn crossed her legs under the table and leaned back in her seat. She took a bite of her appetizer and instantly smiled. It tasted delicious. "Let's hear it Camus. I don't think you could last a day being in your new form. If I were you, I would just apologize so that you could return to normal. Of course I don't want the fun to end and I'd much rather see you suffer because no way will these few moments make up for all the torture and degrading remarks you've ever said to me."

Once that was said she returned to the topic of permanently getting stuck in the game. "Actually now that I know you can get stuck in this game....Some part of me wants to log out and never play again." She sighed looking down somewhat playing with her artificial food with the fork in her hands. "I know life has never been that fair but I just can't imagine never being able to log out again." She looked up to Darkness and frowned. "Oh I'm sorry Goddess, that isn't fair to you with your current situation you're in."

Camus really didn't hear the talk of being stuck in the game. No what was on her mind was getting the damn charm back and getting to change back to his true form. Though Lorelei wasn't having it at all A hiss left her when she was called cute by Lorelei. The teasing that she was doing. Yet even as she hissed, heat rushed to her cheeks. "I'm not cute" she hissed out as she tried once more to grab for the other's secret pocket ,or rather try to find out where it was to begin with. The other female nuzzling into her cheek and releasing her from the hug she was in. She didn't want such a touch and she didn't want to feel like this at all. This felt so weird. The situation just kept getting worse for her though.

The term princess was used, but despite the playful hum of every other word, Darkness seemed to have so much venom for that word 'princess'. Yeah she hated it too and the little demon just cackled in her head. "You don't just---" she started trying to talk back to the other and that was when the other raised her tone and she was being yanked backwards by some invisible force and back into her seat. Prim and proper, hands in her lap and oh it felt weird as hell. It only made her hiss more. "I'm sure it would be different if a certain 'Goddess' was being the one at the center of attention" she hissed out. Oh so much venom in her own voice when she called the other Goddess. Oh the snappiness in her voice even.

A low growl left her as crimson eyes were focused on Caelynn. "Like fuckin hell am I apologizing, Krullie." The irony of it all was Camus in the real world could be a gentleman and hell Camus could be if he wanted to be. Though he tended to be more of a sarcastic asshole than a noble knight or princly sort of type of person. Something about being around Caelynn especially just got him going and it just sort of became a habit to taunt her. Lorelei too but she actually hit back and not just in word form. She tried to pull a fast one on Darkness, when her hands were still in her lap he went to kick Caelynn as hard as she could under the table.

"It will be a cold cold day in Hell before I ever take back words. Yea just ya soak it up-- I'll specifically make sure I up every single form of torture as you call it. I've been nice , Krullie. Though now ya just pushing it." Her anger was showing, it was almost like blood boiling-- first still but warm yet beginning to boil more and more as time went by. Lorelei had gotten a blush, not a snapping. No Caelynn was the one her anger was focused on. Crimson eyes were focused on Caelynn and glaring as the other ---if looks could kill, Caelynn might just be dead from it. It wasn't just tormenting or teasing, no this was showing the other might have just gone a little too far with her words. She also had no control over her hemomancy and that anger might just be what was a trigger for her.

She had wanted to test it out on Caelynn after all, but it was more in senses of making her a toy and not causing her physical pain. Though it was like an anger switch had been flipped and it needed to be switched off. Food seemed to be forgotten by her, nor was anything they spoke about was getting through to her. She shifted a tad uncomfortably in her seat, hands becoming fists in her lap. He breathing even, well slightly heavier. Blood began to run down from her noise the more her anger took hold of her. She had been playful almost compared to Lorelei-- but it was like all her anger was released onto Caelynn. Though what would it do? Would it make it feel like her blood was boiling? What would it even do? She was unphased by the trail of blood coming from her nose even, no she was gripping her fists tightly.
